Why did you get a tattoo?

Why did you get a tattoo? I'm just curious what people's reasons for tattoos are.

    The first one was to see what it was like. The other 3 were because I liked the way it felt.

  • Tattoos in the 80's and early 90's were anti-social. I got them so people would stay away from me. Now it's really, really pop-culture/mainstream. The dumbest people ask me about my tattoos, and, for the record, none of mine have any meaning except ef you. So ef you, and I wish I had no tattoos. And especially ef you to people that get tattoos because of some type of meaningful symbolism. Your tattoos are proof that you are a moron and a disgrace to whoever died or whatever idiot kid you reproduced.

    I just got my first tattoo like 5 days ago as a tribute to my dad who passed away.

    I got my first one for my sister as a sort of trade off deal. I have her birth date in Roman numerals above my collar bone (VI.XIV.MCMXCIV) and she got mine on the side of her foot. I know I'll never regret that tattoo or the placement because that's my one and only big sister and I love her. That will never change.

    I got mine because I am a artist I designed some of my own tattoos and I wanted to have my own artwork on me it means something to me.

    I would never get a tattoo.

    The people that get them say that the phrase/image that they get permanently inked on their skin symbolizes some important thing about their life.

    The real reason they get them is because they are a bunch of hipster doofuses trying to follow the latest trends.
